PREFACEThe Addresses and the Sermons which have been com-* piled in this volume were delivered 'from October, 1960, to 'March, 1963, at the Theological College and in the Holy Trinity Cathedral at Addis Ababa, and at Debra Zeit Air Base Station, Ethiopia. They were printed as they were delivered, with only a few slight modifications; they have not been rewritten for publication. Only those speeches and sermons are included in this collection which have evoked a response from the students and the faithful.
The purpose in publishing this volume is to make it of use to my students and to all those who work in the spirit of Christ who "came not to be ministered unto, but to minister".
To those who have helped me in preparing this collection for publication, and to those who read it with thoughtful understanding, my hearty thanks and cordial gratitude are due.
